'''Incretin therapy''' refers to medications that mimic, enhance, or extend the effects of natural gut-derived hormones called '''[[incretin]]s'''. These hormones, especially [[glucagon-like peptide-1]] or [[GLP-1]] and [[glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide]] or [[GIP]], help regulate appetite, blood sugar, insulin secretion, glucagon secretion, gastric emptying, satiety, and body weight. | '''Incretin therapy''' refers to medications that mimic, enhance, or extend the effects of natural gut-derived hormones called '''[[incretin]]s'''.
